re: tlug: Canna with Emacs 20.2 on RH 5.0?

Steve,

thanks a lot for your detailed advice.


> Seriously, what do you need the upgrade for?

Originally I wanted to upgrade and stick to FSF emacs for
local guru compatibility reasons, but now I think I'll try
at least how far we could get with Xemacs.

I have the TL 3.0 Jap. CDs, so I queried xemacs-20.4-4TL.i386.rpm
for possible needs and conflicts.
It sais it misses libjpeg.so.62, libncurses.so.4 and libpng.so.2.
RH 5.0 is a bit old, I guess.

libjpeg-6b-6TL.i386.rpm from TL 3.0 has libjpeg.so.62.0.0, and
libpng-1.0.2-1TL.i386.rpm has libpng.so.2.1.0.2.
(hope that would be o.k.),
but several files from libjpeg-6b-6TL will conflict with
older files from libjpeg-6a-1, similar with libpng-1.0.2-1TL.

Would it be safe to uninstall the older packages and try the new ones
instead?
